intro of 'I Och Med INsikt Skall Du Förg'

"Oooh look at all the pathetic black clad wannabees running off to buy the new Shining album. Yeah! Within the framework of our scene, this shit's the latest thing! Something to take a stand for, right? Something new and all so evil. I mean - shit, what could possibly be more cruel than suicide, right?

What you ignorant little fucks don't seem to be getting, though, what oh so few of you seem to realize at all, is that this is no fucking joke. Far too many of you haven't questioned yourselves nearly enough to deserve to pretend to feel at home with this music. And honestly, most of YOU are even more degenerate and shallow than the commercial means you pride yourself sooo for hating.

Hate. You don't know what real hatred is and consequently horror is just a joke for you. In reality, your vanity IS horror. Just think of all the putrid decadence and inner ugliness passed down genetically to all of us. We're all potential child rapists, flaming homosexuals, murderers, thieves - any other egocentric dung you could think of. And as much as it might appeal to YOU to support all this, in essence - our "nature" - it's just pathetic since you'd shit in your fucking panties if confronted to the real world out there.

And what is with you fucking morons, dissing men like Eminem and Manson - what??? Is that jealousy due to the fact of them bringing this shit to the masses without pretensions of style? I mean at least in their case the audience reflects the artists, right, which is something that can't be said for Shining, now, is it?

So take a long good look at yourself, because MAYBE Shining isn't really YOUR thing. Maybe, you should just turn on the radio and forget all about these obscure releases you have to buy in order to listen to. And maybe you should just give the fuck up understanding the perspectives of schizophrenics and psychos making art just to destroy the minds of stupid little kids with too big allowances.

Shining's not into building an army. Shining's not a promise for the future. Shining's just the pain of being human here and now.
If your're into the whole organized misanthropy thing, I suggest you go for shit like Dimmu Borgir instead.

Anyway. On behalf of Shining and Selbstmord Services it's my honor to extend a general deathwish to all of you fucking weaklings.
Ahh. Fuck you."

Sounds like a rap song.



*Eminem style*

I'm surprised anyone would make such a fuss about Kvarforth's kissing a man. Indeed, he's just a provocative nut.

I thought it was awesome, especially when he made out with Hoest.

What's more black metal than making out with a dude on stage?

Didn't Marilyn Manson give a blowjob on stage?

Hadn't heard about that. I thought the rumor was that he removed some of his lower ribs to suck himself off.

You see I always thought that was Prince? (the artist formally known as) I said this to some people not long ago and they said is was Mazza too.

Yeesh. And to think, the only guy who would probably do something like that is Kvarforth.

intro of 'I Och Med INsikt Skall Du Förg'

Wowzers. This is by far one of the most pathetic attempts to prove how 'real' you are I've seen from anybody.
Kvarforth is just a retard, but I knew that from all the interviews I've seen with him. Ah well, he have us some fine albums, so I guess I'll let it slide.

No doubt about it, it doesn't get much more forced than that.

Plus he loses points for sounding like a clean-lunged drunken Crusty the Clown.

I don't really think that intro is intended to be taken completely seriously. And from some interviews with Kvarforth, you can tell that he has a sense of humour.

He made out with Hoest too ? I thought it was only Maniac....

What's the big deal with a dude kissing another dude? Maybe it's just something for swedes, but it is a typical drunken behaviour here. I've made out with like 10 of my male friends while we're drunk.

sense of humour? Totally not imo.

Guess it depends on which one of his personalities we're talking about.

That would totally explain why the lastest album was so gay.

I never knew depression could sound so amazing.... i love this band gives a music to my depression as well.
I sit in the dark and listen to them and its beautifully dark

For me Shining is more BM than Depressive though. There are many other bands out there that sounds way depressed than Shining.

Thanks for the suggestion

I know, this is ridiculous, but does anyone know if the song sample at the end is a song from another band? I hope not, because it sounds damn promising in my ears!

Woah, what a pathetic try-hard attention whore. The last 20 seconds weren't too shabby.

I bet it's a mix of having nothing to do and to get some attention. I wonder how the conversation goes before he and some other dude films the whole thing? Like: "There's nothing to do, man. How about we put on some Christmas music and I sit naked, masturbating, in a bath tub and lick a fake pussy? And after that we can include a song sample."

Kvarforth, do a show in Stockholm instead of wasting time filming shit like that!
BTW, I guess the sellout thing they're talking about is either just bullshit or a couple of songs in the same vein as the latest cover EP.

The thing I find hilarious is that the dude really seems serious... I mean, he really believes he's being schocking and that he's upsetting everyone.

I don't think he can do anything anymore that would shock or upset people.


Maybe if he got help?

Actually the end reminds me of something Hunter S. Thompson would say.

Hahaha what garbage....

I don't understand the hatred being directed at Kvarforth. Sure, the new direction he's taking Shining in might now be the most appetizing for black metal snobs, but if you read the lyrics and listen to his voice, the pain is still there. And isn't that what Shining was built on in the first place? Pain? Suicide?

I CAN understand, however, why people think Kvarforth is an asshole. I mean, that video of him fucked up on something(s) and smearing blood all over the place is ridiculous. His forthcoming book, numbered in his blood makes him look like a dick. But here's something to think about. 90 PERCENT OF BLACK METAL MUSICIANS ARE ASSHOLES. Members of Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone and probably some others that I'm leaving out ARE FUCKING DICKS and make Kvarforth look like Santa Claus. I'd rather watch a dude on video cut and burn himself as a cry for help rather than hear about a buncha douches burning down churches or murdering people.

I'd leave members from Mayhem and specially Varg out of my comment although I believe Necrobutcher wasn't into the idea of church burnings at all same for the former member Manheim so that only really leaves us with Euronymous. With Darkthrone though... I think you are completely wrong. I don't remember seeing anywhere that they were inside the black circle at all or that they even gave a shit about church burnings let alone taking part of them. Not to mention how friendly both fo them actually are and never take themselves seriously at all. Almost like Immortal.
